Space Marine Codex - the point changes from the Indexes...

(Please note to avoid any problems with discussing points in depth here, I am using percentages, and they are rounded to the nearest 5%... sorry guys, but I don't want to peeve em off too much!)Lets start with the units that had point hikes. Centurion Devastators Squads - they had a circa 25% price hike in the latest codex, this is with no change to their weapon options, so lists reliant on these guys are going to have to find additional points to keep them in. Thunderfire Cannon - he is sort of the winner & loser here. He has had a 95% point increases, however this is offset by the fact that the Thunderfire cannon has now been reduced by 100% in cost. This nets out at a slight reduction in pointsNow, onto the units with point drops... there are 26 of them! 40% point dropSergeant Chronus35% point dropIronclad DreadnoughtInceptor Squad30% point dropThe Emperors Champion, Chaplain Cassius, Company Champion, Thunderfire Cannon Gunner20-25% point dropCenturion Assault Squad, Techmarine, Attack Bike, Bike Squad, Marneus Calgar15% point dropWhirlwind, Sergeant Telion, Vindicator, Captain in Terminator Armour, Land Speeder Storm, Land Speeders10% or less point dropPredator, Stalker, Hellblaster Squad, Drop Pod, Scout Bike Squad, Chapter Champion, Librarian in Terminator armourNow I use a chunk of the models listed here, so my next post is going to be a quick look at how many extra points I have taking into account the new changes that have just hit. I think that the drop to the Ironclad will make Dragkon (my brother) pretty happy as he was already discussing using his Stormraven as a dreadnought delivery system, and that price drop is pretty decent!

So first up, some time to consider what I should be using for this weekend, I already have a balanced list without Guilliman that shouldnt be too much of an ass to play against, but doesnt really make it easy to get top 40.

So I recently got my hands on the latest edition of Necromunda, here are some quick unboxing snaps.

When you take the top off you are greeted with the usual mass of sprues, and some nice Orange templates... although I have to admit I still have about ten of each! Six sprues in total are included

Removing the sprues and you can see the pack of cards, dice and model bases.

The tiles are neatly shrinkwrapped and look pretty awesome as well.

As is the rulebook --- somehow two days on and I have still avoided removing the shrink wrap while I prep the rest of the box! You also get a very nice guide to how to assemble the models, what it doesnt cover is the mass of spares you get (something I will go into, in another post!

Pulling out the terrain, and i thought it would be worth comparing some of the old style bulkheads that you got in the original Necromunda to the newer ones. The difference is obvious with an overall shorter height and wider body.

I didn't see this coming, and despite perhaps having fallen out of love with Spartan Games, I didn't want the company to close.
